IMPROVEM ENT IN GASOLI NE-STOVES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 194,106, dated August14, 1877 application filed June 2, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WILLIAM 0. NORTH, of Cleveland, in the county ofGuyahoga and State of Ohio, have' invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Gasoline-Stoves, which improvements are fully set forthin the following specification and accompanying drawings, in which-Figure l is a vertical section. top or plan view.

The nature of my invention relates to the peculiar construction of agasoline burner for heating and cooking purposes, as hereinafter fullydescribed and claimed.

In the drawing, A represents the table or top of a stove supported bysuitable framework or legs. B is a pipe leading from a reservo1r.

The burner consists of a tube or pipe, (3, having cast on its lower enda T-connection, by which it is secured to the lead pipe B, and isprovided with a cup, (1, at its upper end. This is cast in one piece tosave making many joints.

D is a yoke containing the jet-orifice (1, controlled by a needle-valve.It is screwed onto the top of the tube 0, and is provided with anannular shamber, E, in the bottom of which is made two or threeorifices, e e, at the sides next to the arms of said yoke.

F is a cap or dome, having a portion of its sides, at the base,perpendicular, where is made a row of orifices. The upper portion istapering toward the top, where is made another row of orifices. The saiddomeis provided with a flat bottom, and has a cone, G, which stands upinside of the dome, and through which is made a vertical opening, g.

At the base of said cone G is made two or more orifices, f f, connectingthe annular chamherE with the interior of the dome. The

Fig 2. is a said annular chamber E, with its orifices e e,

the putting, and causes a perfectly steady combustion of the burner.

The top of said burner stands in the center of the pit-opening in thestove-top A. The said pit-opening is provided with an annular flange orrahbet, in which a round spider, H, sits loosely. Said spider hasinwardly-converging arms h h, upon which cooking utenfunnel-shapedshield, Q, surrounding the burner, for protecting it from outsidecurrents of air, and also for reflecting and radiating the heat upwardtoward the cooking-vessels for utilizing the same.

The operation of this is as follows: The vaporized gasoline, emergingfrom the jetorifice d, shoots up through the opening 9 into the chamberof the dome F, and such of the vapor as is not consumed by the burner isforced or conveyed through the orifices ff into the annular chamber E,and is burned at the orifices c e for the purpose of heating the yoke D,and thus conducting heat to the generating-tube 0, whereby a perfectconversion of the gasoline is accomplished.

Having described my invention, I claim- 1. The tube 0, having the cup Gand the T-connection cast thereon, all in one piece, as shown, anddescribed.

.2. In combination with the tube 0, the yoke D, having the jet'orifice dand annular chamber E, with its orifices e a, substantially asdescribed.

3. In combination with the cap or dome F, perforated as described, thecone G, provided with vertical opening 9 and the orifices ff,substantially as shown and described.

4. The combination of the yoke D, provided with the jet-orifice d andannular chamber E, with the cap or dome F, having the flat bottom, withits cone G and orifices ff, and the tube 0, with its cup 0,substantially as shown and described.

5. The inverted truncated coneshaped shield Q, depending from thepit-opening of the stove, and extending below and surrounding theburner, in combination with said burner and the rabbeted annular spiderin said pit-opening, substantially as shown and described.
